Forgive me if this is more of a newbie question: I don't think I've ever noticed this before, but it looks like Alaska (and perhaps other airlines) really scale back their schedules on Thanksgiving Day (e.g. SFO - BOS 2x AS daily -> 0x AS on Thanksgiving)? I bought an SFO - BOS ticket back in March for Thanksgiving Day, and they just nixed both of their daily flights on Thanksgiving.
I got re-accomodated onto a Wednesday flight the day before, but I must say this is the first time that the next closest available flight option was on a different day.
Just curious as to how common this occurrence is, and if there is any reasonable compensation that is given for these changes, beyond re-accomodation/ability to refund the ticket (I wrote in to Alaska Cares and got an empathetic reply, but no compensation). Otherwise if this is par for the course, I'll consider this a lesson learned and learn to take it or leave it in the future.
Thanks!
